Preincubation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) with propranolol or tetracaine inhibits Ca2+ accumulation and stimulates ATPase activity by more than 2-fold. This effect is obtained only when the preincubation is carried out in the presence of ATP or other nucleoside triphosphates. The (ATP + drug)-induced inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation is pH-dependent, increasing as the pH rises above 7.5. The presence of micromolar concentrations of Ca2+ or Mg2+ during the preincubation prevents the inhibitory effect of ATP plus drug on Ca2+ accumulation or ATPase activity. The (ATP + drug) modification of SR vesicles resulted in stimulation of a rapid Ca2+ efflux from passively loaded vesicles. The ATP-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation by the drug is obtained with other local anaesthetics. The drug concentration required for 50% inhibition was 0.15 mM for dibucaine and 0.4 mM for both propranolol and tetracaine, whereas it was 5 mM, 8 mM and greater than 10 mM for lidocaine, benzocaine and procaine respectively. The heavy SR vesicles were only slightly affected by the incubation with propranolol or tetracaine in the presence of ATP, but their sensitivity increased markedly after storage at 0 degrees C for 24-48 h. These results suggest that propranolol and some local anaesthetics, in the presence of ATP, stimulate Ca2+ efflux by modifying a protein factor(s) rather than the phospholipid bilayer.

Treatment of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes with 12 mM-methylbenzimidate (MBI) for 5 min, in the presence of 5 mM-ATP at pH 8.5, resulted in a 2-3-fold stimulation of ATP hydrolysis and over 90% inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation. This phenomenon was strictly dependent upon the presence of nucleotides with the following order of effectiveness: adenosine 5′-[beta, gamma-imido]triphosphate greater than or equal to ATP greater than UTP greater than ADP greater than AMP. Divalent cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+, when present during the MBI treatment, prevented both the stimulation of ATPase activity and the inhibition of Ca2+ accumulation. Modification with MBI had no effect on E-P formation from ATP, ADP-ATP exchange, Ca2+ binding or ATP-Pi exchange catalysed by the membranes. Membranes modified with MBI in the presence of ATP and then passively loaded with Ca2+ released about 80% of their Ca2+ content within 3 s. Control membranes released only 3% of their Ca2+ during the same time period. MBI modification inhibited Ca2+ accumulation by proteoliposomes reconstituted with the partially purified ATPase but not with the purified ATPase fraction. These results suggest that MBI in the presence of ATP stimulates Ca2+ release by modifying a protein factor(s) other than the (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase.

Oral NaCl produces stronger natriuresis and diuresis as compared with venous infusion of same amount of NaCl, indicating the existence of renal-gastric axis. Although numerous hormones are secreted in gastrointestinal tract, gastrin is evident one due to its natriuretic effects and taken-up by the renal proximal tubule (RPT) cells. We hypothesize that there is an interaction between gastrin and dopamine receptor in kidney, which synergistically increases sodium excretion, the impaired interaction would be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In WKY rats, infusion of gastrin, via renal artery, induced natriuresis and diuresis, which was blocked in the presence of CI988, a gastrin receptor blocker. Similarly, the natriuretic and diuretic effect of fenoldopam, a D1-like receptor agonist, was blocked by the D1-like receptor antagonist, SCH23390 , indicating that gastrin and fenoldopam, via individual receptor, play natriuretic and diuretic effects. Our further study found that lower dosages of gastrin or fenoldopam could not induce natriuresis and diuresis alone, while putting together induced natriuretic and diuretic effects. The above-mentioned effects were lost in SHRs. We also found, in the presence of SCH23390 , gastrin-mediated natriuresis and diuresis was partially blocked. Similarly, in the presence of CI988, the natriuretic and diuretic effects of fenoldopam were partially blocked, indicating the interaction between gastrin and D1-like receptor. The gastrin/D1-like receptor interaction was also confirmed in the RPT cells. Stimulation of one receptor increased the expression of the other. Stimulation of either D1-like receptor or gastrin receptor inhibited the Na + -K + -ATPase activity in RPT cells, while in the presence of SCH23390 , the inhibitory effect of gastrin on Na + -K + -ATPase activity was partially blocked. In the presence of CI988, D1-like receptor-mediated inhibitory effect of Na + -K + -ATPase activity in RPT cells was partially inhibited. It indicated the synergistic effect between gastrin and D1-like receptor would increase the sodium excretion in WKY rats; the impaired interaction might be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

The aim of the present study was to assess if some flavonic compounds (quercetin, piceatannol and apigenin) and ascorbic acid could interfere with the Lf stimulatory effect on the erythrocyte function. Quercetin (1.5 μm) and piceatannol (30 μm) showed an additive effect on Lf stimulation of Na+/K+-ATPase when used together with Lf. The enhancement of Lf stimulation on Na+/K+-ATPase in the presence of flavonoids was probably due to their antioxidative properties and/or to their involvement in the erythrocyte signaling. None of the estimated flavonoids showed an effect on Lf stimulation of the lactate production. Quercetin itself enhanced the ATPase activity but did not affect the lactate formation. Apigenin (1.5 μm) enhanced reliably the lactate generation, but it did not exert any effect on the ATPase activity. High concentration of ascorbic acid (60 mm) did not change the Lf stimulatory effect on Na+/K+-ATPase, but decreased the Lf-specific-binding. A significantly strong inhibitory effect on the Lf-specific binding exerted the electron acceptors NAD+ (2 mm) and FAD (2 mm). These effects concern most likely the competition with Lf for electron(s) which is (are) provided from the erythrocyte intercellular electron transport chain(s).

Vesicles of sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit muscle can be loaded with cholesterol to at least 20 mol% with respect to endogenous sarcoplasmic-reticulum phospholipid without effect on the ATPase activity at 32 degrees C. This applies both to sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles in which the ATPase activity is stably coupled to Ca2+ accumulation, and to sarcoplasmic-reticulum vesicles in which the sarcoplasmic-reticulum ATPase is activated severalfold by fully uncoupling the enzyme from net Ca2+ accumulation. Since the incorporation of cholesterol causes a large decrease in fluidity of sarcoplasmic-reticulum phospholipid bilayer, these results for sarcoplasmic reticulum raise the more general question of whether bilayer fluidity is important in modulating the function of membrane proteins under physiological conditions as is widely assumed, or whether the function of membrane proteins may be effectively buffered under normal operating conditions against changes in bilayer fluidity due to extraneous agents.

The calcium-stimulated (extra) ATPase and calcium uptake activities of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) preparations treated with aqueous heptane mixtures were compared with those of untreated SR, and with those of SR treated with aqueous ether. Both treatments altered the kinetic behaviour of the extra ATPase, the Lineweaver-Burk plot being changed from its normal non-linear shape to a straight line. Kinetic constants, Vma ., Km for ATP and KI for phosphate, were measured. The extra ATPase activity of heptane-treated SR was inhibited by phosphate as was that of ether-treated SR, to a lesser extent. The magnitude of this inhibition by phosphate was found to be considerably less than the degree of stimulation of the extra ATPase activity of untreated SR caused by phosphate through its calcium-precipitating action. The steady-state concentrations of the phosphoryl-enzyme intermediates were measured and together with the K m and K, values they indicate that the binding of ATP to heptane-treated SR is weaker than it is to untreated SR, and that phosphate is an efficient competitor for the binding sites.

Interleukin-1 (IL-1), a cytokine produced by macrophages, causes an increase in Na+ excretion in experimental animals. Micropuncture studies have determined that the natriuretic effect of IL-1 is largely due to inhibition of Na+ reabsorption in the collecting duct. The current studies made use of suspensions of rabbit inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells to examine the mechanism by which IL-1 regulates Na+ transport. IL-1 reduced ouabain-sensitive 86Rb+ uptake by 48% at 10 s, 36% at 30 s, and 29% at 60 s, suggesting an inhibitory effect on Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) activity. IL-1 inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake occurred in a dose-dependent manner. This effect appears to be mediated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) because 1) ibuprofen blocks the inhibitory effect of IL-1 on IMCD Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity, 2) IL-1 and PGE2 cause equivalent and nonadditive inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake, 3) IL-1 causes a two- to threefold increase in PGE2 content in IMCD cells, and 4) dose-response curves were similar for IL-1 stimulation of PGE2 content and inhibition of 86Rb+ uptake in IMCD cells. Thus the natriuretic effect of IL-1 is due, at least in part, to stimulation of PGE2 production by collecting duct cells with resultant inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity.

Activators of protein kinase C (PKC) inhibit sodium transport in proximal tubules (PT) (M. Baum and S. R. Hays. Am. J. Physiol. 254 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 23): F9-F14, 1988. In this study we have evaluated the effect of PKC activators on the enzyme responsible for active sodium transport, Na+-K+-ATPase. Both endogenous (diacylglycerol, DAG) and exogenous (phorbol esters, PE) activators were used. Enzyme activity was determined in permeabilized single PT segments. In vehicle-incubated PT, Na+-K+-ATPase activity (pmol Pi.mm tubule-1.-1 h) was 1,403 +/- 128. The synthetic DAG, L-alpha-l-oleoyl-2-acetoyl-sn-3-glycerol (10(-4) M) significantly inhibited Na+-K+-ATPase activity to 673 +/- 51, P less than 0.05. The PE-phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu), induced a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Inhibition was significant at 15 and maximal at 20 min. Na+-K+-ATPase activity in PT incubated with PDBu was 796 +/- 171 (10(-8) M), 570 +/- 198 (10(-7) M), and 484 +/- 130 (10(-6) M). A PE that does not activate PKC, 4-alpha-phorbol didecanoate, did not inhibit Na+-K+-ATPase activity. PDBu 10(-7) M had no effect on purified Na+-K+-ATPase. Sphingosine (SP), a PKC inhibitor, abolished the inhibitory effect of PDBu (10(-7) M) on Na+-K+-ATPase activity. Dopamine (DA) is a physiological inhibitor of Na+-K+-ATPase activity in PT [A.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 2 Ca2+ channel blockers, verapamil and diltiazem, on calcium loading (active Ca2+ uptake) and the following Ca2+ release induced by silver ion (Ag+) and Ca2+ from the membrane of heavy sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of chicken skeletal muscle. A fluorescent probe technique was employed to determine the calcium movement through the SR. Pretreatment of the medium with diltiazem and verapamil resulted in a significant decrease in the active Ca2+ uptake, with IC50 of about 290 µmol/L for verapamil and 260 µmol/L for diltiazem. Inhibition of Ca2+ uptake was not due to the development of a substantial drug-dependent leak of Ca2+ from the SR. It might, in part, have been mediated by a direct inhibitory effect of these drugs on the Ca2+ ATPase activity of the SR Ca2+ pump. We confirmed that Ca2+ channel blockers, administered after SR Ca2+ loading and before induction of Ca2+ release, caused a dose-dependent inhibition of both Ca2+- and Ag+-induced Ca2+ release rate. Moreover, if Ca2+ channel blockers were administered prior to SR Ca2+ loading, in spite of Ca2+ uptake inhibition the same reduction in Ca2+- and Ag+-induced Ca2+ release rate was seen. We showed that the inhibition of Ag+-induced Ca2+ release by L-channel blockers is more sensitive than Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release inhibition, so the IC50 for Ag+- and Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release was about 100 and 310 µmol/L for verapamil and 79 and 330 µmol/L for diltiazem, respectively. Our results support the evidence that Ca2+ channel blockers affect muscle microsome of chicken skeletal muscle by 2 independent mechanisms: first, reduction of Ca2+ uptake rate and Ca2+-ATPase activity inhibition, and second, inhibition of both Ag+- and Ca2+-induced Ca2+ release by Ca2+ release channels. These findings confirm the direct effect of Ca2+ channel blockers on calcium release channels. Our results suggest that even if the SR is incompletely preloaded with Ca2+ because of inhibition of Ca2+ uptake by verapamil and diltiazem, no impairment in Ca2+ release occurs. Key words: calcium, sarcoplasmic reticulum, diltiazem, verapamil, chicken, skeletal muscle.

Native sarcolemma (SL) from adult canine cardiac myocytes (Na+-K+-ATPase activity 74.2 +/- 3.0 mumol X mg-1 X h-1) was preincubated (10 min, 37 degrees C, pH 7.2) with 1) 20-600 microM palmitoyl carnitine, 2) 250 nM-2.5 mM propranolol, or 3) 20-600 microM palmitoyl carnitine plus propranolol at various concentrations (0.0, 0.025, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 mM); after preincubation, Na+-K+-ATPase activity was assayed. Palmitoyl carnitine alone (series 1) had no effect on ATPase activity over the range of 20-400 microM but was inhibitory (30%) at 600 microM. Propranolol alone (series 2) did not alter ATPase activity at any concentration. When SL membranes were exposed to both palmitoyl carnitine and propranolol (series 3), a dose-dependent inhibition of ATPase activity was observed. The inhibitory effect was not reversed by 3.0% bovine serum albumin. Propranolol concentrations greater than 0.025 mM significantly inhibited the activity of SL exposed to palmitoyl carnitine (above 150 microM). Palmitoyl carnitine and propranolol do not have to be added simultaneously to produce combined inhibition. Activity was inhibited 50% when SL were pretreated with 100 microM palmitoyl carnitine followed by addition of 2.5 mM propranolol no inhibition occurred if preincubation conditions were reversed. Thus exposure of SL to propranolol and reported physiological levels of palmitoyl carnitine leads to irreversible inhibition of the Na+-K+-ATPase, which may be due to the combined membrane-perturbant actions of these amphipathic agents.

Abstract The effect of different L-phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations (0.12-12.1 mм) on acetylcho­ linesterase (AChE), (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities was investigated in homogenates of adult rat whole brain and frontal cortex at 37 °C. AChE, (Na+,K+)-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase activities were determined after preincubation with Phe. AChE activity in both tissues showed a decrease up to 18% (p<0.01) with Phe. Whole brain Na+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by 30-35% (p<0.01) with high Phe concentrations, while frontal cortex Na+,K+-ATPase was stimulated by 50-55% (p<0.00l). Mg2+-ATPase activity was increased only in frontal cortex with high Phe concentrations. It is suggested that: a) The inhibitory effect of Phe on brain AChE is not influenced by developmental factors, while the stimulation of Phe on brain Na+,K+-ATPase is indeed affected; b) The stimulatory effect of Phe on rat whole brain Na+,K+-ATPase is decreased with age; c) Na+,K+-ATPase is selectively more stimulated by high Phe concentrations in frontal cortex than in whole brain homogenate; d) High (toxic) Phe concentrations can affect Mg2+-ATPase activity in frontal cortex, but not in whole brain, thus modulating the amount of intracellular Mg2+.
